Hey look at that: about 70% of the Cuban voters in Florida votes for this. They thought they’d be made rich and the xenophobic racists they empowered would only be xenophobic racists to other people.

The Leopards feast well again. More Tums on the menu.

So, when the rich discovered that they could force us to have 80 hour work weeks because both adults in the home could work, prices suddenly climbed. Then, it turns out we used to rely on one of the adults in the home doing unpaid work (cooking, cleaning, shopping, house maintenance, and notably raising the children).

Recognizing that women should be treated as humans is mandatory. They should be able to be single or be the breadwinner while their spouse stays home.

Turning around and mandating that a family requires 80 hours per week of work to survive at the expense of everything else that made life worth living is crushing our ability to be humans with families.

Of course, the looming population bust due to overworking everyone is making governments and the rich fearful of their safety and continued personal enrichment, but it would require taxing the rich and making governments work for us to solve the problem so it’s likely just going to be a huge mess with untold suffering instead of a graceful shift to a humanistic world with healthy lives.

Rep. Don Bacon is a wanker. Shit or get off the pot. This wannabe dictator is threatening to shut down elections and post soldiers to US cities that aren’t actually in need of it. Do your job and stop flapping your mouth, wanker.

“Congratulations to Drugs for winning the War on Drugs”

It turns out the problem isn’t the drugs. It’s mostly people in bad situations needing tools to cope or escape for a while. What works more then laws and cops is more equitable wealth distributions, healthcare, reasonable living costs, cities with 3rd place communities, and education.

You’re spot on here. The list there was heavily subsidized by government funding. NIH, DARPA, NSF, NASA, etc made those be discovered and initially refined. Many are still heavily subsidized by government funding.

There’s an initial investment stage that takes risk, but after that, it’s mostly about refinement and efficiency. Capitalism tries to exploit those government funds then spread the risk followed by retreading old ideas for new dollars. Capitalism invents few things because it’s risky. It’s really good at monopolizing existing things and eventually driving the efficiency of exploitation to the umpteenth degree.
